Abstract

For an underdamped particle driven by a constant non-conservative force across a periodic potential in one spatial dimension at finite temperature, numerical studies have shown that the differential mobility is non-negative. Here, an analytical proof will be given that is based on expressing the differential mobility by the long-time mean position of a marginally stable harmonic oscillator subject to noise in its stiffness.

Autonomous self-harmonic drift in Langevin dynamics causes a compaction of underlying domain for the density of Stochastic Localization

Our recent research on Langevin dynamics with self-harmonic drift and classical spins has revealed a strong connection to ``Stochastic Localization,"a concept attracting attention in the fields of mathematical geometry and data science. Roughly speaking, the former can be viewed as a version of the latter in which the...

Dimension-dependent symmetry breaking in a diffusive nonlocal interaction model

We study the equilibrium structure and long-time behavior of a nonlinear Fokker--Planck equation with diffusion and nonlocal interactions generated by squared simplex volumes. For $1\leq n<d$, the stationary states are isotropic Gaussian measures, and every solution converges to the equilibrium determined by its conser...

Spectral theory for dynamical large deviations in non-Markov self-interacting processes

We develop a spectral theory for dynamical large deviations in non-Markov jump processes and non-Markov chains, whose dynamics depends on the past through state- and jump-dependent empirical observables. We demonstrate that a multiscale Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin-Jeffreys (WKBJ) Ansatz separates fast configurational rel...

Finite time singularity formation for a nonlocal Boussinesq system arising in cold-plasma dynamics

We study finite-time singularity formation for a nonlocal Boussinesq system arising in cold-plasma dynamics. We show that smooth, symmetric initial data with strictly positive total density and a sufficiently negative velocity slope at the origin lead to finite-time blow-up. More precisely, we give an explicit upper bo...

Energy diffusion in a pinned harmonic chain with free boundary condition and interactions of increasing range

We consider a finite two-dimensional pinned harmonic chain with an interaction range that diverges with the system size and with conservative rotational noise. Under a joint scaling in which the interaction range diverges microscopically but vanishes macroscopically, we prove that the expected em- pirical energy measur...

Reversible Stratonovich perturbations for accelerating convergence to equilibrium of Langevin dynamics

In this paper, we study the problem of sampling from a probability distribution using Langevin-type dynamics. We consider overdamped Langevin dynamics perturbed by adding a Stratonovich perturbation that preserves reversibility. We prove an optimal scaling for the Stratonovich perturbation applied to Gaussian target di...
